Good morning, I have drifted in and out of sleep the last few hours. There has been rain, sleet and snow. 'Tis now grey and windy.
The housework will be done. Then the day's excitement is to put the green bin out - I shall save this for this evening. The gas and electric meters need reading if I can find the time.
Mrs P requested I make banana loaf. We bought bananas 7-8 days ago. Still waiting for them to ripen sufficiently.
I see we have another Brexit thread.

I took the cash only option. Don't trust banks. Also asked for small denominations so it could be two lorries.

Dry day so far but a cold wind. Calmac are putting out warnings of disruptions and day trips are not advised. Been shopping, still no peppers and no eggs either.
Got a nice run out yesterday but very cold and sheet ice everywhere tho' the road was clear.
Bird watchers arriving already, probably looking for sight of a Sea Eagle which I know are in the vicinity but nest sites are kept secret. At one time the RSPB tried to stop us using a forest track we used regularly and I was once followed by a berk in a car until until I got fed up and stopped and told him he would get a brick accidentally through his windscreen if he did not piss off. He took the hint.

Hope Mo is OK!
Just looked up when I last took cash out of an ATM. I took out £50 on the 2nd March ! And most of it is sitting there in my wallet still

Oh.......it'll be a small van then.
Good morning folks,
A session on the turbo completed and a coffee on the brew. I invested a few more quid in Premium Bonds a couple of months ago and they went into the draw for the first time this month. Not a sausage this month, thats the second consecutive moth where I've not won. It was expected as I was statistically ahead of the expected return so far this year so I guess it's just reversion to the mean.
Mrs Tenkay won £25 so I'll be able to borrow a tenner
@Flick of the Elbow mentioned withdrawing money in March and still having a fair bit left in his wallet. I'm the same, so many places now ask for contactless ( although one of the three small bakers in Broadstone are cash only! )
We had a belated Burns night last night. McSweens veggie haggis, neeps and tatties, plus carrots, kale and gravy. The haggis was exceptionally good and we'll be buying it again on a more regular basis.
Have a peaceful day folks
